Weevil Identification

Hello,

I would like information regarding the identification of this (Apionidae?) weevil:

and

These photos were taken in the Masoala National Park, Madagascar, Nov. 1 2009.

At first I thought they were giraffe-necked weevils (Trachelophorus giraffa) because they have the same color pattern, but it was brought to my attention that the shapes of these are very different.

Thanks in advance,
Diana

Classification: 
Apionidae
Trachelophorus
